If you're going to install a BBK....

If you're going to install a BBK....
Consider you consumables...

On new install, all hooray as I was modding.
On the 1st brake pad change, it was a slight eye opener

Wasn't planning to keep the truck this long but on the second pad change or the 3rd rotor/pad change, it is what it is.....All you guys b1tch about those reinforcement plate bolts. Don't bother asking how much I'm paying for BBK bolt hardware.......

Fast forward final quarter of 2018.
Unexpected sorta forced brake job - I've got a full ~floating~ rotor. No bolts are sheared off but somehow the rotor is loosey goosey from the hat . No Bueno. Need to replace both hat and rotor. So full rear brake job. I'm getting my hands dirty and in reality, I would rather be spending the money on th fronts. Eh, it's just greeenback right.

Sigh. I don't even want to look up the KBB of the truck....as I open up the wallet for BBK consumables.

Grrr. Off my soapbox.

At least the truck look good and still get lots of double takes
